New York University Oct 4 2024 A decade after the establishment of the certified community behavioral health clinic model, more than 60 percent of the US population has access to such facilities and the mental health and substance use disorder treatment services they provide, according to a new study led by researchers at the NYU School of Global Public Health .
A new approach to community-based behavioral health care CCBHCs fulfill federal criteria related to providing outpatient mental health and substance use care, including crisis services, regardless of patients' ability to pay. The federal government established the criteria for the CCBHC model in 2014, and the first CCBHCs opened in October 2016.
Despite the significant investment in CCBHCs, there is little research on these clinics: where they are located, what services they provide, and who they reach. To address this gap, Mauri and her colleagues created a dataset of CCBHCs and began exploring their reach and services. While the researchers found geographic differences in where CCBHCs are located, they note that these disparities do not necessarily fall along partisan lines. For instance, Texas was an early adopter of CCBHCs, establishing statewide access through a Medicaid program. In contrast, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, and South Carolina had no CCBHCs as of June.
To better understand the crisis services provided, Mauri and her colleagues analyzed national survey data from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing on CCBHCs, along with the demographics and socioeconomics of the areas they serve. Their findings were published last month in the journal Psychiatric Services.
